DJI publishes annual report, highlights key achievements
The report highlights a series of exceptional achievements that underscore the Institute's pivotal role in advancing judicial and legal competencies.
These efforts reflect the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and the guidance of Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, and Chairman of the Dubai Judicial Council.
The ultimate objective of all such efforts exerted by the DJI is to strengthen the efficiency of the judicial system, promote upskilling, and implement global best practices to deliver swift, efficient, and accessible justice.
According to the report, 2024 marked a qualitative leap in the DJI's wide-ranging programme, with its sustained efforts culminating in remarkable achievements while reinforcing its commitment to the highest standards of quality and excellence. One of the most notable of these achievements is the institutional accreditation it received from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
Recognising the Institute's leadership in elevating the quality of its programmes in terms of innovative content and delivery through its smart digital platforms serving the Arab judicial community, it was honoured by the Arab Center for Legal and Judicial Research operating under the auspices of the League of Arab States with the 'Arab Judicial Training Excellence Shield' Award for 2024.
The report highlighted the launch of the Dubai Judicial Training Platform, which is designed as an integrated digital gateway for the diverse training programmes offered by the Institute.
The platform enables trainees to manage self-learning content and maximise the benefits of training anytime and anywhere.
The report spotlighted the implementation of 131 training programmes benefiting 7,337 individuals who aggregated 2,066 training hours through the courses.
A total of 986 local and international entities from across the public and private sectors benefited from the programmes.
Underscoring this aspect, and exemplifying its efforts to promote innovation, the DJI launched the 'Virtual Crime Scene in the Metaverse' programme, representing a qualitative leap in practical and applied training for members of the Public Prosecution in Dubai.
The initiative aims to enhance skills amongst members of the Public Prosecution in conducting inspections in criminal cases and handling evidence at the crime scene within a safe, interactive virtual environment that simulates reality.
The DJI also earned two ISO certifications – ISO 22301:2019 for Business Continuity Management Systems and ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems – following comprehensive audits that validated its adoption of best institutional practices in preparing and qualifying national talent to work in the judiciary while showcasing high levels of efficiency and competence, promoting and disseminating scientific research, and enhancing legal awareness within the community.
In addition, the Institute launched the second edition of the 'Future Research' competition, building on the success of its first edition and reaffirming its commitment to fostering innovation in legal thought and encouraging legal researchers to share new perspectives in line with the changing global media landscape.
Driven by its strategic vision and belief in the importance of institutional collaboration and expanding the scope of local, regional, and international partnerships, the Dubai Judicial Institute in 2024 strengthened its institutional partnerships.
Teaming up with leading judicial, legal, and academic entities locally and internationally, the DJI has achieved significant success in promoting knowledge exchange and the sharing of best practices.
Through such partnerships, the DJI seeks to develop training and qualification standards, promote sector-specific research, and support its vision of leadership in offering judicial and legal training, thereby contributing to the advancement of the judicial system at both the national and international levels.

Dubai: 5 men jailed for robbing villa while family was away on vacation
Five men from a Central Asian country have been sentenced to three years in jail for breaking into a villa in Dubai's Jebel Ali area and stealing a safe containing cash, gold jewellery, valuable watches, and other personal items. They will be deported after serving their sentences. The Dubai Criminal Court found the men guilty of theft after reviewing evidence that they entered the country on visit visas and carried out the burglary while the homeowners were travelling abroad. The incident occurred in March when a European woman reported to the police that she had returned home with her family to find the front door of her villa unlocked and the contents of the house in disarray. According to the case file, the woman discovered that a safe containing foreign currencies, gold ornaments, expensive watches, and personal documents had been stolen. The burglars also took cheques and 10 old mobile phones that her husband had collected. A police officer involved in the investigation said a team from the Criminal Investigation Department was able to identify the suspects through surveillance footage and rental vehicle records. The car used in the crime had been leased by one of the suspects, and the group was traced to a rented apartment in another emirate. Authorities arrested the men and recovered the stolen items in their possession. The court handed down the three-year prison term and ordered that all five defendants be deported upon completion of their sentences.

Ras Al Khaimah shooting: Family call for justice over killing of three women
A Syrian man whose mother and two of his sisters were killed in a shooting in Ras Al Khaimah has recalled the horror of the night that has left his family shocked and distraught. The incident occurred shortly before midnight on May 5, when Maher Wafai, 40, who works in Sharjah, received a devastating call from a family member while returning home to Ras Al Khaimah. He was informed that his mother and three of his sisters had been attacked. Upon arriving at the scene, Mr Wafai found that his 66-year-old mother and three of his sisters, aged 36, 38 and 47, had been shot. His mother and 36-year-old sister died at the scene, while his 38-year-old sister and 47-year-old sister were taken to hospital with serious injuries. A terrified fourth sister, aged 30, remained in the family home. 'I still can't believe what happened,' Mr Wafai told The National. Deadly parking dispute 'My mother and four sisters were in the house when my neighbour arrived and became angry over [someone] blocking the road,' Mr Wafai added. 'He claimed my sister's car was blocking the narrow road to his house.' Mr Wafai said his 36-year-old sister went outside and had an argument with the man. 'She went to the car to give him more space, when he ran over her. He then stepped out with a gun and shot her. I don't know what happened and what he was thinking in that moment,' Mr Wafai added. When his 38-year-old sister then went out, Mr Wafai said the gunman shot her too. 'She stepped outside the house with her 11-year-old son, trying to call the police, when he shot her in the neck. She gave the phone to her son to get help from the police.' The attacker aimed his gun at the boy but Mr Wafai's sister, despite being already injured, blocked the bullet with the palm of her hand and the boy managed to run away. The family's nightmare then got even worse when Mr Wafai's mother went out to confront the gunman. 'Then my mother went outside yelling, and he shot her in the head,' said Mr Wafai. Ras Al Khaimah Police arrived within minutes and arrested the suspect, a 55-year-old Yemeni man. Authorities said the shooting was triggered by a dispute over a blocked road near the family's home. The case is currently under investigation by the Ras Al Khaimah Public Prosecution and is expected to be referred to the emirate's court soon. 'Horrific times' While Mr Wafai's 38-year-old sister did not die at the scene, her injuries were so bad that she died in hospital four days later. The 47-year-old sister has recovered from her injuries. The suspect is expected to face charges of premeditated murder over the death of the three women and a charge of attempted murder with regards to the 47-year-old woman. 'We leave the case in the hands of the law. We are calling for the death penalty for the suspect and we trust the UAE justice system,' Mr Wafai said. Mr Wafai, who has lived in the UAE with his family since he was 18, said they have now left the house and area. 'We went through horrific times. I buried my mother and sisters. We are still in shock and disbelief,' he said. 'The UAE is a safe country and always protects its citizens, residents and visitors. We know justice will be served.'
